Good morning everyone. It is Monday which means it is time for another challenge here on CCEE Stampers. This week our challenge was a supply challenge with Tosh supplying the items we needed to create our cards.

Tosh sent each of us the following supplies:

Skunk images

Floral designer paper

Black scallop ribbon

Packet sentiment stamps

Black Flourish (optional)

Now there is an interesting story behind our challenge this week. Tosh hates monkey images but her friend Laurie taunts her regularly, even to go as far as asking her to hold a sock monkey at CHA so she could take her pictures. THE NERVE!!Well now is the time for Tosh to get her own back cause Laurie hates skunks as much as Tosh hates monkeys. Laurie's husband even propped a dead one by a cattle gate to surprise her when she had to check on the calves. (yikes!)

So Tosh asked us all to make a skunk card and send it to Laurie .... bwahahahahahahahahaha!

We had to use the skunk image, the designer paper, the black scallop ribbon and one of the sentiments from the packet of sentiment stamps to create our cards.

Ok now it is your turn to play .... so if you have any skunk images .... or even monkeys seeing Tosh doesn't like monkeys *wink* (now I am gonna get in trouble for that one hehe), use them to create your card today. Don't forget to come back here and leave a comment including a link to your card so that we can check it out. If you are uploading your card to SCS don't forget to use the keyword CCEEC.

Now it is time to see what we all created this week .... sorry Laurie but it wasn't our fault *wink*

Good Morning everyone .... Monday means the start of a new week and also a new CCEE Stamper challenge.

This week is our CNFS challenge (Catchy Name Featured Stamper) ... we pick someone who has a catchy user name over on SCS and then we create our card around that stampers name and send off our cards to them.

This week it was Tosh's turn to select the person whose name we were going to use and she selected Michelle aka JustPaintingAround.

Tosh told us that Michelle has a spotlighting style that she loved, so for our card we had to use the spotlighting technique. Michelle really has a very unique style ... you can see her blog here.

Remember you are also welcome to join in the challenge ... you can using any variation of the spotlighting technique you want to create your cards. Don't forget to come back here and leave a link to your card in the comments section of this post so we can check out your creation. If you upload your card to SCS don't forget to use the keyword "CCEEC"
